Adolf Heyduk's apartment in Písek
VLKOVÁ, Michaela
This bachelor´s thesis will deal with the preserved burgher apartment of Czech poet Adolf Heyduk in Písek and his collection of paintings from the late 19th and early 20th century. The thesis will include a brief introduction of the personality of the Czech poet Adolf Heyduk. It will also deal with the history of the house in which the apartment is located. This will be followed by a description of the house designed by the architect Jan Koula, whom the author, together with the builder of the house, Karel Novák, will also briefly introduce. The next chapter will focus on the apartement itself, its internal layout and furnishings. The apartment has been preserved without any major modifications in almost its original form, of Art Nouveau furniture, textiles and, last but not least, many art objects and paintings by very important authors. It is a valuable collection of Czech art paintings from the late 19th and early 20th century that will be the central theme of this thesis. Finally, the author will outline the history of the establishment of the current Adolf Heyduk Memorial and and its recent reconstruction.

Corporate Art Collections
Koudelová, Barbora ; Janištinová, Anna (advisor) ; Černá, Jitka (referee)
This Bachelor thesis focuses on Czech companies that build a long-term and systematic art collection. These are Česká spořitelna, Komerční banka, Kooperativa, PPF, Pražská energetika a Pražská plynárenská. The aim of this paper is to analyse the motivation behind the art collection; whether it is a part of marketing, social responsibility or investment. These motivations typically occur in various combinations, which is why the goal is to determine the ratio between them. The analysis is mainly based on interviews with representatives of the corporations, official materials and media outputs. The thesis has an ambition to become a keystone for the selected topic, which has not yet been deeply analysed. The results may be useful for companies collecting art as well as for further research.
